You really need to have seen the grid to answer this 'cos the answers are related in many cases and are only part of the cryptic solution.
Does anyone out there understand 29 across? The answer should be ?O?T? The clue is"Acts agreesively, judge does, about new edition of book (9) The four letters missing from the answer are some kind of knife.
Have found this hard going. Am on last three.
Is 27ac overt wear caps? If so is this a quotation or a saying? and 3dn and 28 dn rock and roll? if so what is central character? This will still leave me with 25dn but I can struggle with that a little longer.
Okay Ramilahs
Rock 'n' roll is right - the central character being the "n" out of one! 27 ac is "over the cracks" the full answer being "paper over the cracks" anagram of PERK PROCREATES with CHAV, and the bit you don't enter is PAPER (knife).
If you want any help with the other one, let me know!
Many thanks Terry -- two things threw me -- the markings on the grid and the anagram I picked up "with" instead of "perk". Before I tackle 25dn, could you pls confirm if 24dn is The Who and 25 ac is Blue(fish). I think something is not right with my 25ac as it gives B?C?M? for 25dn which is still beyond me. Thanks again Terry
I thought at first it was The Who, but "articles put together" leads me to suspect it was the band "The The" which did exist but were much less known. Take your pick.
25 dn: Second class gives B. compiler after green gives ME after ECO (green). giving BECOME (suit).
It is The The. I could not find it in Google search but found it in Yahoo search and it is even listed in Wikepedia. Why it did not come up in Google I do not know.
I would have never guessed Become -- ECO = green I would never have guessed. But my fault was not thinking of me for compiler.
I've finished this apart from 11 across which completely throws me - I can see justification for four letters but not for an answer to the clue or for a knife.
Are you an Allo Allo fan? Have you watched the TV series? Helga is one of the characters which leads you to another character which is the solution. I am sure you will stumble on it so donot want to spoil your fun by saying any more
Cant think what 13 across is about. I have F-ELD---HT(-)
(-----) Is there a film title that would fit. Presumably F-ELD could be FIELD as in FIELD KNIFE
Hi Terry
You put me on the right track with over the cracks. Think of the front and you can make an eleven lettered name .Remember the film clue and the knife could be in front like in paper over the cracks. Hope you can work it out. it's more fun if you get it yourself
